Still way to go to be a size 6 but i can totally relate some of them from when i was obese and the ones i still suffer from while being in this life changing process of losing weight. I miss the freedom I once had from noticing and obsessing over Every. Single. Pound. As an obese woman I experienced the world every day in a body that was judged, undervalued, demonized, mocked, feared, despised, and avoided. Those awful experiences gave me more empathy....Not to mention the deep respect I automatically have for every person I meet who doesn’t fit the (white, straight, middle-class, able-bodied) mold. Behind every body shape theres feelings, no matter how thin, or big someone is, they have their own demons of insecurities to fit into the average beauty standards. Sometimes i thank life my experiences as an obese person, because in a way made me sensible, made me wiser and aware of what a person is over looks.
